EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting tale of Vortigern and Rovena, beautifully engraved by Delatre. Taken from David Hume's renowned book "The History of England" published by R. Bowyer in London in 1812, this illustration transports us back to the ancient world of British legends. In this scene, we witness Vortigern, the esteemed High King of Britain during the 5th century, falling deeply in love with Rowena, daughter of Hengist – leader of the Jutes. The story unfolds as Rowena is instructed by her father to bring a drink to Vortigern at a grand banquet held within a magnificent castle. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into an opulent interior filled with courtiers and feasting tables adorned with sumptuous delicacies. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Vortigern and Rowena lock eyes for the first time amidst their respective roles as king and princess. This engraving captures not only their courtship but also hints at the complexities surrounding arranged marriages prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to both literature and history while showcasing William Hamilton's artistic talent. With its rich historical context and intricate details, this print invites us to delve deeper into British legend and Anglo-Saxon culture. A true treasure from The Stapleton Collection that resonates far beyond its initial creation over two centuries ago.
